CREATING RITUALS: Women We Believe In... Caoimhe McGinley

Welcome to Creating Rituals: Women We Believe In, a new interview series where some of the women who inspire me open up and share their thoughts on self-belief, rituals, wellness, work and motherhood.

 

My first conversation is with Caoímhe of @TheBigHillHouse, a mother of four who not only shares her family, fashion and home with us, but has also opened up on how she navigates those unexpected challenges life can throw at us.

Caoimhe @thebighillhouse - wears Awaken Ritual & Love Letters featuring her four childrens initials.

We have outlined in a quick to read format as we know you will want to consume these tips with ease!

1. What are the daily rituals you can’t live without?

A glass of warm water, cups of coffee and my 10 minute makeup routine all feature as part of my daily rituals.

2. What three words describe you?

Loyal, hardworking and heartfelt.

3. What are your words to live by?

Express boldly. Love deeply. Live fully.

4. How do you calm a busy mind?

I’m a list writer. Writing my lists and ticking them off helps me keep calm and feel organised.

5. You have two hours to yourself, how do you spend them?

I should probably say something inspiring and dreamy but in all honesty I would probably spend it being productive. I would catch up on my life admin, answer emails and do some work. Anytime I had left would probably be spent browsing online.

6. What piece of advice would you give your younger self?

Trust your own timing - you don’t have to rush to keep up with anyone else’s path and what’s meant for you will come. Stay true to yourself, be patient and keep showing up. Don’t waste your energy on jealousy, as what’s meant for you can’t be taken away by anyone else.

7. Who inspires you?

My mum, without a doubt. Also, the strong, successful business women who I am lucky enough to meet or work with.

8. Female strength is…

knowing your worth, standing tall in your truth and refusing to shrink for anyone. It’s the power to love fiercely and create boldly. To rise after every fall and to walk away from what doesn’t serve you with your head held high.

9. What piece of jewellery do you wear the most and why?

My Love Letters necklace is the piece I wear the most, as it has my children’s initials and also the angel wings to remember those not with us. I also never take off my Roàmaci Ritual stacks.

The pieces have so much meaning. I love them all.

10. Share your goals or secrets. What do you Dare to Believe in?

I dare to believe that kindness is a superpower, that dreams delayed are not dreams denied and that you don’t have to be perfect to be worthy. I dare to believe that your story, your voice and your light matter - just as you are.

If I had goals, they would be:

• To help people feel seen, heard and empowered.

• To remind others that their magic isn’t tied to anyone else’s timeline.

• To encourage people to dare to dream bigger for themselves.

Fun Fact:

Caoimhe co created our New Beginnings stack for a go to Ritual for women who are ready to step into their era of renewed strength for new beginnings.
